On a raised platform stands an ornate gold throne with a canopy, where a seated figure in red and gold garments sits, flanked by gold ritual vessels and small brass lamps. To the right stands a gold-clad standing figure. Devotees in white and brown-saffron clothing, several with long hair, face the platform with hands folded; some hold long ceremonial staffs and a fan.

Tall cylindrical hanging banners in red, yellow and blue patterns line the ceiling. On the stage, a flower-decked central altar with a brass lamp stands in front of dark red drapes, with several figures in white and orange robes performing ritual activity around it. Stage lighting and a camera on a tripod are visible in the aisle. Individual faces are too small to identify anyone; a person in orange and white near the altar may be a priest, but no one is confidently identified.2009-01-03Evening procession under a white tent hung with colourful paper lanterns and cone-shaped decorations.
